Underground artist NEW EX delivers a hypnotic blend of trap and introspection with his latest single, “XP.” Drawing inspiration from Houston’s chopped & screwed scene, “XP” offers a deep dive into the mental and emotional spaces of self-improvement, resilience, and unapologetic ambition.
From the first distorted bass drop, “XP” pulls you into a world where success isn’t handed out; it’s earned. The track weaves together elusive, razor-sharp rhymes that touch on overcoming anxiety, growing through experience, and moving through life with power and purpose. With lines that flaunt his self-made hustle, “XP” is both a boastful anthem and an introspective reflection on surviving in a competitive world.
The track is rooted in dark, moody trap vibes, with slow-burning beats that match the theme of moving at your own pace. His delivery is smooth yet haunting, floating effortlessly over the production like he’s untouchable. The chopped and screwed elements add a surreal, dream-like quality, creating a sense of floating through space as you listen.
“XP” is a statement from an artist who’s comfortable in his lane, leveling up while staying grounded in his authenticity. Whether you’re in it for the introspective lyrics or the hypnotic production, NEW EX’s “XP” offers a soundscape that’s both immersive and addictive.
